Property Details
Description
More photos coming soon! Your search for a Kensington house may now be over. Currently configured as a 4 family this competitively priced house can be converted into a 2 family as well. Each floor has a front facing and a back facing apartment. In addition to the bedroom in each apartment there is a smaller room that can be used as an office or a guest room. 3 out of the 4 apartments are in better shape, with less work required and partial hardwood floors. The 4th apartment needs more work, but offers a front-facing balcony. The lot is 21 X 100, with an R5 Zoning. Electric has been partially upgraded, and the roof has been overlaid. You will appreciate both the 9 FT ceilings in this house and the amount of potential offers to those not aware of getting their hands dirty or an experienced contractor. The basement is unfinished, and it can offer plentiful storage and entertainment space. There is an internal courtyard in addition to the sunny 400SF+ backyard.
The house is located in Kensington, just 3 blocks away from the Church Ave. station of the F and the G trains. The block consists of 2 story houses and has a retro feel to it.
Show your appreciation of historical landmarks by visiting the famous Greenwood Cemetery, just 2 blocks away from the house. Your drive to Manhattan would only be 15 minutes (no traffic) and 25 minutes to Midtown NYC (no traffic as well). Other transportation options are a new Citibike station across the street and B16 bus.
